You may recall this museum when I visited in January. Unfortunately it is now closed because of COVID-19, and in fact was due to close in May anyway for a major revamp. So this could be the last view you see of the Museum of Childhood for quite a while. But lets not focus on the sad times, lets focus our attention on having fun and being square! The theme for April Squares is ‘top‘, and we have five idioms, to choose from;
- On Top of the World – summit, crown, peak (tiptop) or uppermost part of something.
- Under the Big Top – topping or covering (or if you are really lucky a circus!)
- Room at the Top – first or highest in position
- Cherry on Top – something made even more wonderful by becoming square
- Top and Tail – or maybe you’d prefer to play around with word combinations such as top dog, top stitch,
top hat, top secret, top knot, top drawer or top dollar!
The main tag is #SquareTops but you may also want to add a second tag using the idiom your square is coming under. My second tag today is ‘Cherry on Top’ as hoping that is what the revamp will do and my third tag is ‘Top and Tail’ in honour of the museum cat in a top hat.
There’s only one rule to Squares your main photograph must be square in shape!

Chiroptophobia – I would never have picked this word…
Tomorrow I will post a “normal” top.

Museums are really suffering in these times. I hope this gets to reopen.

I never got there – always on my list, but it’s way too long. Sounds as though the revamp is to make it more for youngsters that nostalgic olders. Will be interesting to see but sounds as though I should have got there before the change.

I know I am nervous about revamp, hope they find a way to keep a bit for adults as it is adults who most enjoy looking at the old toys!

London uh? Must say that rabbit/cat in a hat (who puts a cat in a hat?) looks like badly done taxidermy, it would have scared me to death as a child!
Mine is a little less controversial shall we say today. https://wp.me/pL5Ms-5bP
Behave!

Glad it is not just me horrified by the face – I loved the idea of the cat in the top hat but as you say the grimace on its face is something else! maybe they just stopped it at the wrong moment
